Educology:
Knowledge of Education

Types of Educology

Nine types of knowledge of education are based on kinds of mental structures:

• qualitative (unique) educology
• recognitive
• acquaintive
• appreciative
• quantitative (theoretical) educology
• scientific
• praxiological
• philosophical
• performative (how to do) educology
• protocolic
• adaptive
• creative

Some may argue for broader or narrower views of educology. For further discussion, see Crisis in Educology (Steiner, 1986).
